The test release of a new ice cream dubbed “Obamka” (Russian for “Little Obama”) in Russia’s Tatarstan Region has sparked a wave of laughter and mockery from Russian web surfers. Yet, some US officials have not been so enthusiastic. “Next up is ‘Erdoganka’ (cream-brûlée in milk chocolate) and ‘Merkelka’ (white ice in white chocolate,” one user wrote on Russian social media, coming up with more ideas for Russia’s Slavitsa ice-cream factory, which came up with the name. The ice cream maker’s latest product, which sparked so much ado, is an ice cream glazed with chocolate, featuring a cartoonish image of a boy with dark skin and a wide smile who is wearing an ear ring and holding an ice cream. The -ka in “Obamka” is a diminutive suffix in the Russian language showing that the object or person represented by the word preceding it is small, so “Obamka” approximates to “Little Obama.” The form is mostly used to express affection, although sometimes it can be used as a type of scorn. The wrapper designer said he got the inspiration for the brand name from “Chunga-Changa,” a tropical island in a Soviet-era cartoon inhabited by two black children. HAHA the Russians can be so clever sometimes, as they turn the barbarity that is our president here in America into a tasty treat. See folks Russians are just like us in which they know are president in Barack Obama is one big joke. The Russians are only showing us on why Obama was "one big ass mistake America, by making a treat that melts away like his presidential legacy. It would almost be hilarious if the Obama team put sanctions on Russia for making this ice cream treat, but then again would that stupidity even surprise us here in America. The Russians are just laughing off US sanctions anymore because they really cause no harm. It shouldn't surprise us if the Obama economy never allows this treat to come state side.
